About Beto Perez (founder)
Celebrity fitness trainer, Beto Perez, stumbled upon the concept of Latin inspired fitness in his native country of Colombia (South America) in the mid 1990s.
One day, he walked into his class and realized that he had forgotten his aerobics music, and his only option was to grab whatever tapes he had in his car. Beto’s tapes were comprised of the songs that he loved, the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music with which he had been raised. But it was a challenge to improvise a whole class on the spot using non-traditional aerobics music. Beto rose to the challenge and from this last-minute improvisation was born a revolutionary fitness programme – Zumba Fitness®! The class soon became the most popular class at his fitness facility…. the rest as they say is history !!
